Actually, as far as irritation is concerned, I find having to scroll down
through large amounts of un-snipped text just to find a "me too" at the
end more irritating than if it had been top-posted on an un-snipped
message. The normal convention only works well when people snip and reply
to the relevant bits underneath.

It's non-snipping that's the real problem.  It seems virtually to be the
norm in many non-computer usenet groups.
